In honor of the Boy Scouts' 100th anniversary, the 12 brave souls of Troop 36 ditched the wilderness for the bright lights of Broadway. The scouts from Rockland County in New York State set up 20 tents in between skyscrapers and the hustle and bustle of Times Square, the New York Post reports. Even though they were equipped with sleeping bags, we're pretty sure the scouts learned the meaning of "the city that never sleeps."

Miley Cyrus -- My Nipples Gotta Be FreeMiley Cyrus did not suffer a nip slip. Instead she offered a nip TIP to the world -- as in, GET YER YA YAS OUT -- and it instantly took over the Internet. Miley showed out for the "Free the Nipple" campaign by posting a topless Instagram with a caption taunting people to report her whappers-gone-wild. Right before the boob shot Miley also posted a series of mocked up images pushing the message ... which has also been touted by Chelsea Handler, Rumor and Scout Willis, and Cara Delevingne.

Ah, Karen? These are NOT children. They are Boy Scouts! Children sit home watching TV or playing video games and are afraid of venturing out into the world because mommy is scared to let them out of the house without her.

These boys learn self reliance, responsibility, life and leadership skills, virtues, morals and values. They will be tomorrows leaders.

Those Boy Scouts are there as a publicity stunt. The declining rolls for BSA is because they promote discrimination. If you are of a different faith or sexual orientation they not only hate you, they deny you membership in their discriminatory club.I stopped giving to any group which gives them money, such as United Way. Public funds should not support discrimination.

Quick, ward off the drunk guy with your jacket, try to look bigger than him!We have to go get provision later. Someone take this twenty dollars and find some teriyaki chicken for eveyone, now!We need more bottled water. Go out and buy some, and get me a bottle of sparkling this time, damnit!Let's learn how to survive working at Starbuck's. Now, the stirring stiks go in this stand, and the spoons go in here...See the stars up there? There's Angelina Jolie, Brad pitt, the Jonas Brothers, the Peanut Planters guy...

Maybe people are missing the larger point. This was to draw attention to the centennial more then an outdoor experience. If just a couple of kids living in the city saw this and decided to find out more about scouting and then were exposed to camping and hiking in the real outdoors, then it was a good recruiting move.

You think people would get the idea, as declining membership continues, boys of all ages miss out on the best lessons life has to offer. Boy Scouts was the best thing my son ever did, life lessons he never learned in school, it molded his life all the way to Eagle, never in a gang, or trouble,no drugs. Stand tall guys, wear your uniforms with pride and live the scout code. My Eagle wears a different uniform today, that of the US Army.

Boyscout Dad, I think you hit a bullseye! As a cub and boy scout leader myself, I too think this is a fantastic recruiting move, also used to highlight the 100th Anniversary of Scouting in America. Also, this "campout" is one the boys will never forget!

The Boy Scouts are there because of there centenial, they were in DC for 3 days, then went to Va to the scouts camping grounds for 10 days, it was international and Boy Scouts from all over the world was there......How did I know this, my 2 grandsons are there and it was an experience of a lifetime.........it is a good way to let people know they are still around, maybe some parents will think of joining up there son's ....what a good positive way of life for these young scouts to become young men.............We need more of a postive look with our children and this is a good way to start.

First of all, Boy Scouts is not just for wilderness boys. It's for all boys, and I know of many inner-city kids who benefited from Boy Scouts. These Scout leaders drew attention to themselves and did something that no one else has done. So they pulled an all-nighter, big deal. It wasn't their first, and it probably isn't their last. As for the poster who said, "They'd be better in the country..." Why is that? Are our minds so narrow that we can't see the benefit of learning about what happens in the city? So they did it in a less than conventional way. GOOD. Someone was thinking outside the box! We need more people in this world who think like this!

Boy Scouts is about being prepared for whatever life hands you. Most of these boys will end up in A city for jobs at some point in their life. What better way to learn about all the things that happen in city at night!

I applaud these Scouts. Being an ex Boy Scout myself, anytime you CAN bring attention to scouting & maybe get someone interested in joing as a new scout or maybe an adult joining as a troop leader, I think it was a good idea of theirs.More young people should become interested in Scouting. It teaches moral values in yourself, moral values to others, & moral values to this earth on which we all live. I SALUTE YOU YOUNG SCOUTS FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO SET UP CAMP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY LIKE THAT & TO BRINGING ATTENTION TO SCOUTING!

As a New Yorker, I am outraged that this un-American organization, which discriminates on the basis of religious belief (no atheists or agnostics allowed) and sexual orientation (no gays) chose my cosmopolitan city, with its huge popuilation of gays and non-religious people, for a publicity stunt. Let them camp out i the swamps of Georgia or Alabama.

Dennis...YOU are the prejudiced one! Being from Alabama...I resent your remark! Fine thing that YOU are allowed to discriminate!! I applaud this organization who stood by their rules...all the way to the Supreme Court! That took courage.This IS America where everyone still has the freedom of speech....and until THAT RIGHT is taken away - these boys are not harming you in any way. Leave it to adults to mess up a time-honored tradition. I am so sick of people bashing religion. Believers are as easy target as they are told to "turn the other cheek!" If the gay/homosexual population wants a group of their own with their own motto and creed, why don't they start one? Oh wait! There already IS one....I forgot! It's called the GIRL Scouts of America!

You may be right, and it is YOUR right to say what you did, HOWEVER, The surpreme Court has stated that the Boy Scouts CAN exclude atheists, agnostics, and Gays, because That is not what the Scouts are about. It has been about building moral & religious character. So You have your right to practice what you want, and the scouts have the right to practice what they want. If it offends you, don't look, or join, Problem solved.Stop looking for problems where none exist. You are one of those people who are not happy unless you are complaining about SOMETHING. How sad for you

actually dennis, your wrong. I am involved in a scout troop that has a publicly atheist leader. and do you honestly think that a male who is gay should be allowed to take a group of young boys on a campout? YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, SO STOP MAKING A FOOL OF YOURSELF
